The law of conservation of mass states that mass or matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or recombined.
For chemical equations, this law means that each element must be accounted for equally both for reactants and products. So the same numbers of each atom must match on each side, hence the necessity for balancing the chemical equation accurately. This created a field of chemistry called Stoichiometry, which accounts for the conservation of matter throughout chemical reactions and processes.
Answer:
464.1 J absorbed.
Explanation:
Given data:
Specific heat of zinc = 0.39 J/g°C
Mass of zinc = 34 g
Temperature changes = 22°C to 57°C
Energy absorbed or released = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 57°C - 22°C
ΔT = 35°C
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = 34 g. 0.39 J/g°C. 35°C
Q = 464.1 J
Answer:
- Carbon shares four of its electrons, and each oxygen shares two of its electrons.
Explanation:
Carbon needs 4 electrons to reach a full outer shell while oxygen needs 2 to reach a full outer shell.
